PANAMA | Canal enlargement attracts massive support. Even though the details of the scheme to enlarge the Panama Canal are not yet known, a survey conducted by PSM-Sigma Dos for the newspaper Crí­tica shows that 62.3% of respondents would vote in favour of the project if the decisive referendum were to be held now. Once approved by the executive and the legislature, the scheme will be put before the electorate in a referendum.
